This waterfall has been known by locals for decades, but only recently has its existence emerged as common knowledge.

The German Stefan Ziemendorff is thought to be responsible for bringing the falls to the attention of the Peruvian government in 2002, he was working in Peru for a water project and he realized from far in a expedition that something was there since then he participated in documenting, constructing a trail to and measuring the falls.

The falls appear to exhibit a modest to high volume of flow, becoming an immensely powerful cataract when its stream is full. Some months ago Gocta was announced as the third tallest and according the list of waterfalls released by a Waterfall database, Gocta is the 14 tallest waterfall in the world

To reach this waterfall the only way is walking 5 hrs by virgin jungle departing from the village of Cocachimba, through the trek its possible to see another amazing waterfalls, toucans, hummingbirds, monkeys and much more. Although there are some explorer or adventure lovers visiting Gocta but there is not yet tourist circuits or paths at the moment.
